Aruba is one of the most popular Caribbean destinations for U.S. travelers, but unlike Jamaica and the Dominican Republic it has not been known for its all-inclusive resorts. However, resorts like the Divi Aruba and Tamarijn have been offering an all-inclusive experience for years, and the newer Riu Palace gives you more choices than ever for a pay-one-price Aruba vacation. Plus, many of Aruba's all-inclusives are all located at Palm Beach, Aruba's best resort district.

For many travelers, all-inclusive resorts are a great option because guests do not have to worry about paying for meals once they have arrived, and if they so desire, they can stay on the resort property for their entire trip without needing to leave to find food, drinks, entertainment, etc. For travelers of all kinds, from singles to family, and everything in between, the all-inclusive can be a great option if you want to leave the planning to the facility, and the relaxing all to yourself.

Riu Palace Aruba

Opened in summer 2007, the Riu Palace has quickly become a Palm Beach landmark with its unique, turreted hotel towers.

In 2015, the resort underwent a $25 million renovation, revealing new contemporary decor as well as a new buffet restaurant option as well as renovated bar and lounge areas.
